Greetings! Strong “60 Minutes” season debut: The headline-grabbing staff upheaval and backstage drama did not diminish the season-opener of the massively popular newsmagazine. The opening segment, which featured the first interview with an airman who was shot down and rescued in a mountainous region in Iran, was a mesmerizing tale of survival. It also spotlighted the technical prowess and raw courage of the rescue teams who extracted the badly hurt Air Force colonel in enemy territory. While the segment showed the U.S. armed forces in a justifiably heroic light, it didn’t attempt to “sell” the purpose of the war to the audience, which critics of Trump-friendly Paramount Skydance, parent company of CBS, might have feared. In fact, at least twice in the segment, the conflict was accurately described as “war,” contrary to the wishes of Trump and his administration. The show’s second segment on the “Pardon Economy” cast a critical eye on how bad actors pay millions to get Trump to pardon them for their sins.  It’s hard to see how the debut program could be criticized for carrying Trump's water.  Let’s see if “60 Minutes” continues on this path.

The team, led by my favorite QB Josh Allen, just announced that it will play our northern neighbor’s national anthem, “O Canada,” in addition to the “Star Spangled Banner” at the team’s home opener September 17. Well done Bills! (Breitbart)...More criticism of Trump from the right: American Spectator admonishes the president for his delusional thinking that he can end the war in Iran by “simply declaring victory.” And the editors of the National Review declare that Trump’s proposed $5,000 dividend to voters if the GOP retains the House and the Senate in the midterms was “reckless”...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
